My bob is pisssing m eoff. If I put my hair in bunches and chopped into it, would that give me layers?

Sort of like 2 mini Mumsnet haircuts on the sides of my head.....

no - don't do it
how long is your bob?

MayorNaze · 20/12/2010 16:19

yes do it

it will give us all a laugh Grin

(that means NO NO NO btw)

fibernachi · 20/12/2010 16:20

Nooooooo. It'd be a disaster, really it would.

FakePlasticTrees · 20/12/2010 16:21

If you do, can you add before and after photos so we can have a giggle assess the damage results.

(BTW - so is the mumsnet haircut just cutting off your ponytail then?)

Cyb · 20/12/2010 16:21

Its a bit longer than jaw length at the sides, slightly graduated at the back into nape of neck with a fringe I wanna grow out

I'm SOO tempted

you could try putting some layers by lifting the middle 2 cms of hair and cutting a cm off - see what happens?

but as you have a fringe that is growing out I wouldn't recommend it.

PaxoIsEvil · 20/12/2010 16:30

Nooooo! You'll end up looking like Wurzel Gummidge.

Cyb · 20/12/2010 16:33

I might give my hairdresser a ring and risk a broken rib sliding round there

I am desperate but dont want to look like Worzel

Bad idea! It'll either be completely wonky or you'll cut it even shorter and hate it even more!

Cyb · 20/12/2010 16:44

I DID IT!!!!!!

It looks FAB

Youre brave lol.

I have a salon & we get to see some real disasters lol

Glad youre happier with the result Wink

Cyb · 20/12/2010 16:48

Oh I'm sure if an expert looked at it they would have something to say

I'm always cutting my own hair, but not this much of a difference

OP posts:
paarrp · 20/12/2010 16:49

Shock well done! did you go for bunches and then snip?

Cyb · 20/12/2010 17:04

yes snipped hard into ends, not blunt but choppy. I no longer have a bob! But a funkier choppier shorter haircut

Not sure what H will say

verytellytubby · 20/12/2010 21:10

You are so brave!

MaudOHara · 21/12/2010 09:47

OP posts:
3seater · 21/12/2010 09:53

yay!

blinder · 21/12/2010 09:59

I need layers. I am waiting patiently for photos and instructions. Tap tap tap.

Cyb · 21/12/2010 10:01

Hmm ok I have put pic on, its not the greatest but hey ho.

Not sure I would advise anyone else to copy it! My hair is usually wavy and messy so mistakes don't show!

OP posts:
Cyb · 21/12/2010 10:03
